News for 2018: Las Vegas Gets Second Cup Date

Hello everyone and welcome back. Just wanted to update my followers of some news that came out yesterday. If you didn't hear or read, Las Vegas Motor Speedway had been wanting to have a second Cup race for quite some time. Las Vegas hosted its first Cup race in 1998 and has always had one Cup race weekend in March every year. As the year has started, there were reports of talks between Las Vegas and NASCAR to get a second race. Well after the talks and speculation, it was announced that Las Vegas would get a second Cup race replacing the playoff race at New Hampshire starting in 2018. The news would have mixed reactions. In my opinion, New Hampshire hasn't been my favorite, but it was something different other than the usual 1.5 mile tracks that make up most of the NASCAR calendar. But we will see what happens as Vegas isn't a bad track and produces decent racing. Well that's all folks. Just a quick update. Thanks for reading.
